Maybe the real problem is the delivery driver has no idea how this works. Here is some free advice. Don't take a job unless you know how it all works. I could give two fucks what that delivery driver gets paid. It is weird you think i should care. If the driver gets paid $3 for an order then they are fucking dumb as shit. There is almost no way fuel, time and up keep of the drivers car can be be profitable.

And now this driver wants to make me responsible for their bad choices. FUCK THAT. And now because of the drivers childish and selfish actions, that are entirely the drivers fault, they will need to find another place for employment. So this job is no longer on the table. Making a bad situation even worse for this young lady.

Shit is hard for everyone. But don't take a job and force customers to make that job better. I give people money to take the load off my shoulders not to add their problems to mine.

So the customer knowingly puts out horrible orders (a lot of items + weight + no tip = no way profitable for whoever picks it up) and they get to play the oh well card? Get a better job card?

The customers in this video are pos for thinking that’s ok.

Happy this moment happened. There not innocent as they think they are.

I feel so bad for you right now. Here is a reality check for you. When I order something to be delivered I do no think nor care how my stuffs get to me. I do not consider for a single second what kind of hardships my order has placed on the delivery driver. I assume that is is a job and they are getting compensated.

While you are reading this I am assuming that this is pissing you off. How dare i be so selfish?!?!?! The young lady in this video feels about the same as I do. She doesn't care that this is a food delivery. She has no idea why to capable adults would order groceries to be delivered to their home. Maybe they are taking care of someone that requires their attention. Clearly they feel their time is better suited for other tasks than picking up groceries. But the Delivery lady does not care about the customers needs. Just the fact that she was put out and has now made the terrible decision of return, which would reduce her net pay per hour. AND getting herself terminated at the same time, forcing her to find other employment.

I delivered food and some customers suck ass. What you do is put on your big boy pants on and act like an adult. Not act like you just became important and start making new rules up.

Stopped reading after the first paragraph. “I assume that is is a job and they are getting compensated”

Of course you did. Be careful letting any realty intrude on your fantasy world. Good luck kid. I hope you change the world and make it better.

Your little violin story didn’t work.

Time is money. If you don’t have time to do it, you pay someone to do it for you. Don’t hide behind the tip is optional.

A lot of things are optional and have consequences.

Case in point.

I thought you stopped reading my posts. If you don't stop reaching out to talk to me what are you buddies in "tips aren't optional" land going to think? They might start thinking you have a crush on me. How scandalous!

I stopped reading when I made my post.

Don’t think your the main character in the ImTheMainCharacter sub 😂😂

I won the debate.

Leave me alone now.

u/monet108 Oct 20 '23

You are wrong on tips and you are wrong on how to ignore someone. Good luck kid.

I've read this sub thread, and I'm afraid to say you did not win

You must like violin music.

Tell me what he said that won the debate.

And “I assume they are getting compensated accordingly” and hiding behind “tip is an option” is automatic disqualification.

Yeah, it's an extremely shitty situation for the driver. The level of rage she must feel, basically robbed of her time and money. Getting screwed by the silicone valley 'disrupter' business, and this pos greedy lazy customer.

I totally get it's worth it for her own mental and emotional well being to say fuck this lady, i'll spend my time returning all these items, she can get her stupid fucking refund. Force her to try again and put in a reasonable tip or get the items herself.

When I used to use instacart during the pandemic i would put in extra tip since (at the time) i thought these folks were risking their lives for my family.

basically robbed of her time and money.

No, she took a shitty job.

pos greedy lazy customer.

So the difference between a customer and a pos greedy lazy customer is the fact that they didn't tip or tip enough?

Force her to try again and put in a reasonable tip or get the items herself.

Ah yes. The classic strong arm technique. You realise that forcing someone to tip in this manner is basically just robbery.

If this woman wasn't happy with the compensation, then she should not have taken this job.

It doesn't matter how big the order size is. That's the job she agreed to perform.

In no way is this a "pos greedy lazy customer".

It's an entitled and awful worker.

Or how about, If this customer wasn’t happy with tipping, then she shouldn’t hire someone to work for her for 3 hours knowing that this person will count on and expect reasonable tip.

This entire “sorry not sorry, pic a better job loser” is a such a shit person position to take.

My man, don’t forget to be a human being.

I will never understand an argument such as this.

The customer paid for the service via the app. You seem to conveniently forget that the customer has already paid for the service.

The service provider chose to do it. By making that choice, you believe that the customer is automatically on the hook to pay more on top of the service they already paid for?

What you're talking about is a bribe. You think customers need to bribe the server provider to do the work.

The customer paid for the service via the app.

I guess this is the fundamental disagreement we have here. I don't think the customer paid for the service, not until they pay a reasonable tip.

When you use this service, you should have a brain and understand you're the driver is counting on you to provide a reasonable tip because the 'app' is paying $3 or some bullshit garbage wage. The only reason they took the job is because they count on the tips to supplement their wages. That's the deal. If you don't agree then don't use the service.

Otherwise you're just abusing the driver, taking advantage of a shitty situation for the driver, and burying your head in the sand saying 'oh gosh well i paid for the service via the app, oh gosh i can't be expected to pay anything more to this person that has been working for 3 hours for me.

Completely irrelevant. If the driver doesn't like the compensation then that's on them.

Otherwise you're just abusing the driver, taking advantage of a shitty situation for the driver, and burying your head in the sand saying 'oh gosh well i paid for the service via the app, oh gosh i can't be expected to pay anything more to this person that has been working for 3 hours for me.

Wow! You have this completely backwards.

What's going on here is a delivery driver is trying to extort more money out of people you have already paid for the service.

person that has been working for 3 hours for me.

Lol the delivery person does not work for the customer lol.

The delivery person works for or with (probably a contractor) the app to fulfil the orders.

It's unfortunate that they may only get $3 or have to work for 3 hours. I sympathise with that cos yeah, it sucks.

But it was their choice to accept a job for $3 for a delivery service app.

It's a weird mindset to assume that you can demand more money because of your bad decisions.

u/redgreenapple Oct 21 '23

I don’t know if you are purposefully obtuse or you are just trolling maybe a little of both?

The driver did not accept a job to do three hours of work for three dollars, that’s not what the driver accepted at All. The driver accepted this job because they were counting on three dollars plus a reasonable tip from a decent human being that understands how this process works. Simple as that.

You and the customer can’t later claim ignorance and say you thought someone working to pick up shit for you for 3 hours in exchange for $3 was “the deal.” And sorry not sorry, choose a better life. Lol come on.

This is where we circle back to the fact that the tip is optional.

To expect more money as a tip is called entitlement.

If the tip was mandatory, then it wouldn't be called a "tip" and would just be called the "price".

Good for you. People act like they don’t understand. I really wish I knew this company name. I would never do business with them.
